Synthetic

Hype it up
I’ll put the guess to rest & get it off my chest
I can’t take no more of this duress
Hyped up double talk from the sidewalk sloth
that deserve to be lined in chalk
Just like a body of water that will soon fall down
truth spills and walls surround
Strap your facts to the back of the calf
that they killed for your veal cause I’m pushin’ the real

All this time I thought I knew exactly who I was
Once again I see my friend is not one I can trust
Blame myself for falling now I’m crawling to be whole
Everything you did was just a bid to play a role that’s called a front
Beggars & the hangers on see them now before they’re gone
feeding from you like you’re bread in the pond
Fake as the nails on your fingers
are the clingers you call friends
Like a cameo I got played for my soul
& the role was a cold lump of coal
Too bad you cannot be true, now I’m through with caring

Damage in the middle leaves you damaged in the end
Stuck me like the needle underneath my weary skin
Try to keep my focus while the locusts suck you in
Free me from the place that I will never face again
Solo
Feel it hanging over me every time I try to breathe
Coming from you don’t know who to believe
Fucked up double talk from the sidewalk sloth
that are gonna be lined in chalk
Like a body of water, the truth spilled down
Now all your walls surround
Too still can’t stay true, now I’m all through with caring too
All this time I thought I knew exactly who I was
Once again I see my friend is not one I can trust
Blame myself for falling now I’m crawling to be whole
Everything you did was just a bid to play a role that’s called a front
That’s called a front
I lived a lie
No matter how I tried
(Front) That’s why it’s called synthetic
(Front) That’s why it’s called synthetic
(Front) That’s why it’s called synthetic
